let's talk about the public vote (Patreon)

now that we have had two of them, I now will be able to organise and release them with the pattern I had set out for them. I love transparency though, so I figured I'd explain how exactly I decide which games will be present, as it's not just random.

I do want to start that at any point I may decide to not do things this way, maybe I want to do a gimmick day or whatever, anything is possible. But most votes will be organised thusly:

A- The top 2 performers of the previous vote
B- The top performing game that was not in the previous vote
C- A new game
D- [mystery box]

In votes without a mystery box, I will pull the second top performing game from B. If for whatever nothing inspires me for C, then I'll again pull from B.

This method is used to promote obvious favourites. It also encourages you to go ahead and vote for your favourite as even if it doesn't 'win', if it does well it still has an honest shot.

I don't know if this knowledge will, like, create a meta or whatever, in a way I hope not, but to repeat myself I like transparency and I figure some people would appreciate to know how this works, and to know that this isn't really arbitrary. Some of you may find comfort in knowing a head of time what three or sometimes four of the games are gonna be before the pole.

I dunno, more info is better than less ! see y'all at the next vote zone!
